Sometimes things almost seem just too coincidental. Less than two weeks back we received the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD for review while only a few days after that the Lexar name came up while touching base with an old friend I hadn’t spoken to in some time.  We were discussing his business, which is PC build and repair, when he …

In late 2020, Canon introduced the EOS R5 mirrorless camera and that set off a frenzy of companies rushing to market the latest and greatest in CF Express Type B memory cards.  The sheer speed of CF Express B moved digital media into a new realm where photographers and videographers could capture moments that were once impossible.  Don’t get me …

TeamGroup has introduced a brand new PCIe 4 SSD to the market, one with much the same physical components as the Patriot Viper VP4100 and Sabrent Rocket Gen 4 SSDs introduced some time ago.  Our look at the T-Create today will be on a fresh new Test Bench, and one in which we had hoped would become part of our …

There was a time not so long ago when data security was a nice-to-have.  It was something thought about after the fact and, in most cases, much too late.  As much as your online security should be front and center in your mind, so should the security of those documents that could cause you irreversible harm if they ever got …

In September of 2020, we did a review on Crucial’s newly released X6 Portable SSD which had a great price point and decent capacity. Its performance was a bit lower than we had seen in the previous Crucial X8, the former providing current 1GB/s data transfer through USB 3.2 Gen 2 while the newer X6 maxed out at 540MB/s because …

Recommend a DRAM-less SSD on any website forum or product purchase site and you have just committed storage suicide.  There is a ‘cancel-culture’ that will hunt you down and ensure that you never post without their jumping in ever again.  People who have never had a DRAM-less SSD in their hand will hound you endlessly because, well, Linus said not …

Many many not consider how SSDs have changed from generation to generation but, throughout the years, the push forward has been increased on capacity and top tier performance.  In order to achieve a larger capacity, the flash memory footprint has to be reduced and layers stacked, much like we see in apartment buildings, for the most part.  The challenge of …

Perhaps one of the most admirable traits about ADATA and their gaming brand XPG throughout the years is their willingness to incorporate a wide range of SSD components in their products.  We don’t think that there is another that comes remotely close, most latching on to a certain manufacturer and establishing long lasting partnerships.  Thistrait  is the case with respect …

Back in December, we posted our review on the one and two terabyte versions of the newest Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, both of which received our Editor’s Choice as being one of the best available in the industry.  Breaching 7GB/s read speeds and coming very close to that with write performance is not an easy …

It is a bit amusing how we might be speaking of the merits and oversights of a new product in the tech industry, and only a few days later something very similar turns up.  In this case it has to do exactly with this latest product to hit our Test Bench, the WD_Black D50 1TB SSD Gaming Dock where, a …
